The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs.

Born to be kings, we're the princes of the Universe!

I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It 's nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime.

May all that have life be delivered from suffering.

Nothing is forever except change.

“Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well.”

“To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.”

“Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.”

I was basically the person at Disney World that was in charge of clearing the park when it was closed... I was the guy... telling them to 'get the hell out and have a magical day.'

When I get real excited, my muscles go into spasm, so they just shake.

I'd wanted to be famous for as long as I could remember.

The only two characters I can play convincingly are myself and a dumber and sweeter version of myself.

Over the years, I learned that in my career, unlike in life, sometimes my wheelchair is its own automatic door opener. I was able to win the OWN competition by applying one simple principle: be funny, and admit you suck before anyone else can call you out on it. In other words, make the narrative of your failure a comedy.

The Internet is crazy, and I love it!

“In my darkest moments, the “what-if”s bury me and the “if only”s keep me from enjoying what is.” 

“Laughing at somebody is just another way of dismissing them, but laughing with somebody is a bridge to understanding.” 

I thought this should be a travel show, because a lot of people with physical disabilities get discouraged.

The biggest disabilities are when you sabotage yourself mentally, those personal demons that get on your shoulder and you can't shake 'em.

Call yourself and define your relationship to your chair the way you want to, or your disability the way you want to.

I feel a lot of personal responsibility to undo the negative stereotypes. I know that it's not coming from a bad place. It's coming from an ignorant place. I can sort of be an ambassador in a subtle way to say, "This is what I am: a comedian, a show host, a writer." It will still always be part of the conversation and people will want to focus on it because there is a culture that is so embedded that if you have a disability, you're someone to be either admired just for living, or be pitied for having to struggle.

My experiences of traveling abroad and going to Italy with my father, having to break down a gigantic electric chair to get on trains. You've got three minutes. You go to Pompeii and there are shockingly few accessible hotels in a city that was covered in volcanic ash.

Technically I can get out of my wheelchair and crawl around and do things, but when I've traveled and they've lost my wheelchair in transit, I feel like I need to be bound to it. My functionality and autonomy are often bound to this.

I didn't feel like I was putting anything good into the world, even though it was funny. I wanted to do something more positive that would have an impact. So even when I'm doing naked push-ups or whatever, it's astounding to see how people respond to it.

What I don't like about the way the media portrays religion is that they seem to weaponize it and use it as a tool to divide people.
